About Aurora of Arthur Orologio da Polso Automatico
Aurora of Arthur è un orologio da polso automatico ispirato alla leggenda di Re Artù. Il quadrante è realizzato in madreperla naturale, così ogni esemplare presenta un motivo unico con un delicato effetto fumé. La cassa è in acciaio 316L ed è modellata per richiamare un'armatura di scaglie di drago, mentre la corona di carica assume la forma di una corona regale. Le lancette a forma di spada e gli indici sfaccettati sono trattati con materiale luminescente per garantire la leggibilità in condizioni di scarsa luminosità. Un'apertura open-heart lascia intravedere il movimento e il rotore reca un motivo inciso a doppio drago. Il cinturino può essere sostituito direttamente da chi lo indossa.
